| Upgrade Von Schweikert VR-4 to Dunlavy SC-IV? >The Gen III HSE were considered the reference before the VR4SR was released.<And to my ears, they may still be the better speaker.Oz | |
| Small Floor Standers That is a pretty big room to fill with sound for 1K. None of the Totems that you will find at that price will do it. I tried a pair of Forests in a 26X16 room for a weekend and they definitely weren't enough. Neither are the smaller Spendors going... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II You would think the spelling would have been corrected in the thread title for VII, if this is indeed an upgrade ;-}}Oz | |
| I've found the cd player for analog lovers Dear Guido,What posts do you feel weren't respectful? Mmakshak comes off like he is in dire need of medication. When calling it like it is, how does this reflect on his diversity, or lack of. I don't see the connection.BTW, don't be so serious. I ... | |
| I've found the cd player for analog lovers Boy, I bet you have a grand ole time in a room all by yourself. You can never get lonely when you can carry on such a conversation with the voices in your head........Oz | |
| Wher did the DB99 go ? I agree that these are two different designs that don't sound alike at all. To my ears, the DB-99 was the hands down winner. And personally I can't see that the Sr. and Jr. IIs were upgraded enough to justify the huge price increase.Think about it... | |
| South Florida Zu Druid owners Member Gmood1 is in Alabama and now owns my previous FTA 2000 speakers. If he's not close enough for you to make the trip, he can give you his opinion.I thought they were very good, and actually had very good bass for a single driver. As I'm sure ... | |
| watt puppy 7 / sophia? >pair of Usher Be 20 loudspeakers which are 516,400.00 brand new and they will stomp on the WP 7 and 8.<At just over half a mill, I would think they should be better.Oz | |
| Tyler Linbrook Sig System, Short review >btw i see a competitor speaker up on audiogon listed today. $14,500. Still does not offer what the LSS does.Go figure.<Tell us when it was you heard this "competitor's" speaker? And how did it sound compared to the Tyler speakers?Oz | |
| ARC PH5 or K&K Audio Phono Stage The K&K gets my enthusiastic recommendation. Others I have owned that were not as good:phono stage of AI 3Aphono stage of Cary SLP-98EAR 834PSonic Frontiers SFP-1Bluenote Pamphiliphono stage of JJ Electronics 234Those last two were close, but ... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Preamp The DNA-1 works really well with passives because of it's input sensitivity and gain. I was using a pair of the deluxe monoblocks with a TVC linestage with excellent results.Oz | |
| Power tubes for SF Power 2? I am pretty sure I read that KT-88s are possible. I will check again. KT-88s usually have more power and improved bass response, but don't have the natural tone of other tubes. But that is not always the case. If what you hear holds true for the P... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck Set up? Chadlinz offers excellent advice. If you have someone nearby that is an experienced vinyl guy, not only could he do it for you, but teach YOU at the same time. This is something you will need to become proficient at if you continue down the analog... | |
| Reference 3A Decapo "i" sounds shrilly >Maybe they need more power or current than your amp can deliver.<Not likely, since they were designed around SETs. I sincerely doubt that is the problem.BTW, I am pretty familiar with this speaker. It does have a foreward sounding midrange.... | |
| Alon speakers - mark I vs. II I thought the Mark II version had the wrap around grill cloth around the open baffle and the Mark I did not. I have a pair of Alon I Mark IIs in my video system that the original owner restored back to the look of the Mark I.Oz |
